He is teaching one grade twelve, three grade ten and three grade nine science classes. • Mr. Zankowski was born in Clinton and raised on a farm in Perth County. He received most of his elementary schooling in one-room school-houses and then continued on to Mitchell High School where he was taught grade 9 science by our own Mr. Gnay. While in high school he was very active in sports, participating in cross-country, soccer, track and field, volleyball and basketball. One basketball team he was on made the all-Ontario finals and he also held Huron-Perth records- in On Monday mornings all the students and teachers gather • together for our "Monday Morning Assemblies" in the double gym. At these assemblies file students learn of coming events, how the school teams are doing and what the various clubs have accomplished. The students have many different points .of view on these assemblies, positive and negative. Let's look, at the teacher's point of view. Mr, Campeau: "I think they are excellent. I would like to see them held on some other day for the high jump and pole vault at one time. After graduating from grade "13, Mr. Zankowski went on to Western University in London Where he spent six years and obtained his master's degree in physical-education. During the second year of his master's studies he taught Anatomy . at Western. He continued his education at Althouse College in London where he received his Bachelor of Education diploma. During that year he practice-taught at Exeter where he coached the senior girls' basketball team which came in second in the league, beating Madill in the process. We can breathe a sigh of relief now since he is on our side coaching our junior boys' basketball team this season. Mr. Zankowski, a bachelor, resides 45 miles south of Wingham but hopes to move closer soon. His hobbies include fishing, photography, water-skiing, swimming and cross-country skiing. He likes "Madill and finds the other teachers "fantastic" especially the science staff. He thinks the kids here are "great". We welcome Mr. Zankowski to our school and we wish him much success in his career as well' as with this season's basketball team. Eleanor Johnstone variety." Mr. M orrison: "I think they serve a useful function, however, I don't think they have to be on Monday morning." Mrs. Machan: "I enjoy them because I think the students can find out about sport, activities. and different events going on in the school .It adds cohesiveness as a student body, it is a time for the students to get together." Mr. Gavreluk: "I think they are worthwhile. I like thee way` they- are set up now, every other week." Patti Stew art As I opened the corer ofeourier '69 a red glowing sunset silhouetted a large branching maple tree as the sun ell beneath the horizon. This was perhaps good symbolism since the school was renamed. F. E. M adill Secondary School. Wingham and District High School had fallen beneath the horizon leaving only glory and colour behind for F. E. Madill S.S. to maintain. In the year 1968 - 69 Lucknow's entry into the school area became ,reality. Along with the good news came Mr. Hall and his band; originally it was • named the. Lucknow band, of course. The new addition to the school was built, and, built, and built .... until there were a total of 56 classrooms in F..E. Madill. The Centennial Fountain donated by the-Student Council of 1967 at a cost of nine hundred dollars finally was completed during '68-'69. The year 1969 was the year Nancy Corrin reigned as school queen and Bryan Forsyth as .the school leader. The cheerleaders rooted the school•teams on to victory in their new purple uniforms. -There were several Huron-Perth champion- ship teams that year. The boy's golf team, the boy's curling team and the midget boy's cross country team were all champions of Huron-Perth competition. The senior girl's volleyball team ended second in Huron-Perth competitions.Mr. Stuckey must have had some magical power. The senior boy'l cross-country team won at WOSSA. I have heard it was because Mr. Stuckey worked his cross-country teams so hard that they won. The gymnastics club was a first for this school in 1969, Mr. Taylor instructed a trampoline club consisting of 35 students. The trampoline club met every school day except Monday. Three trampolines were used and, surprisingly, there were no reports of accidents. It was the last year to see the junior boys parading tip and down in front of the school. All the men in uniforms were no more. Several different clubs were operated eight' years ago. The Judo club participants continued to throw each other around under the direction of Mr. Robertson. There was a Computer Science - Club, and a History Club, where Mr. Ackert discussed ancient history. Mrs.iDavis hoped to give those who attended her new Elementary Typing Club, a new skill. Twenty girls from the,Home • Economics Club planned to make a quilt that winter and when it was finished to have a raffle on it. The School Play Committee similar to our Drama Club consisted of 75 students. Three performances were given. The play was written' by a student, Anne Oldfield. It was a musical comedy and included-, many committees and the Lucknew Band, The annual Winter Carnival was held February 28th— of that year, Joan Remington was the deserving, Snow Queen. Yes, the new Madill was a year of excitement and new acquaintances. There were six. Ontario Scholars - all girls, from the previous year. "Sock it to me, Baby!" was a feature of Courier '69. Some of the teacher's baby pictures with their names underneath were. in the yearbook. y ou had to do was unscramble the letters of their names to distinguish one cutie from another. Anne Meyer, the editor of the 1969 yearbook, summed it all up. She wrote "At a time in our lives when we are all so concerned aboui the future, I hope that this yearbook will be a' humorous recap of part or your past." I also hope that friends, relatives and neighbours who read this column that attended F. E. Madill at this time find a wee bit of amusement tucked between the phrases. If it has lightened one person's day then it has been worthwhile. Mary Anne Alton. Teachers like assemblies Grade 9 night a success Due to a mistake in the last council report it was stated that Brian Jeffray was president of the student's council. As every good Madill student knows, Susan Adams is president and Brian is vice president. Grade nine night was held FridaY. October 15, after classes. Those who stayed for the evening took part in various games for the fits! hour. Entertainment supplied by the drama club, the cheerleaders and some members of the Lucknow Concert Band, Supper was held after a , relay face, with many still covered in flour from trying to retrieve lifesavers from plates of flour with toothpicks. - The evening was topped off by a sock-hop with music supplied by Bob Van Staalduimen and Chuck Huntington. It's hard to know who had more fun, the grade nines or the senior students, but from all accounts the evening was a great success. The student's council would like to thank everyone who helped in any way to make this year's grade nine night one of the best every.
